  HYPOTHESIS that unifies the post-rewire data: the diode + 10.3 Ω sit across ONE winding (a tail pair misidentified at one end of the bifilar). The ms tail would then be REAL freewheeling magnetizing current. Corrects my "probe artifact" conclusion (#3466/

  Diode in vs jumpered, open pot gap: diode in ~85 V pulses with ringing; diode jumpered only ~8 Vpp sawtooth. As wired now, the two windings CANCEL at the gap when joined (series-opposing/paraphase), contrary to the series-aiding drawing. Check with LCR

  10.3 Ω confirmed intact in circuit, so the ms tail across it with the loop open is a measurement-chain artifact. Across the open pot gap (probe ~2 MΩ only): each pulse rises to ~85 V with ringing and returns to ~0 in the off-time; no visible staircase at

  Open-loop test (pot lifted, no C_t): CH1 tail unchanged. Decisive: the tail is not current in the 10.3 Ω. Either the probe path is not across an intact resistor (open-node step-charging of strays, draining through probe MΩ), or it is a probe/channel artif

  No C_t, loop closed through 1 kΩ, 10.3 Ω moved 150 mm away on twisted pair: CH1 tail unchanged (1.92 Vpp, >1 ms decay). The loop time constant (~0.14 ms) and the voltage needed across 1 kΩ both rule out real current; resistor pickup also unlikely. Next: p

  Diode-shunt tail tests: burst period 5.5 ms puts the literal reading at ~140 mW against 60 mW input (impossible). A jumper across the 10.3 Ω cuts CH1 from 2.2 to ~0.8 Vpp but leaves a residual step. The open-loop test did not trigger. Next: relocate the r
